On behalf of the Bazaar Explorer developers, I'm pleased to announce our 0.5 release. Bazaar Explorer runs on GNOME, KDE, Windows and Mac OS X. It requires Bazaar 1.14 or later and QBzr 0.11 or later.
Based on feedback from early adopters, the 0.5 release includes many usability improvements and numerous bug fixes. For downloads and release notes, see https://edge.launchpad.net/bzr-explorer/trunk/0.5. If not already there, a Windows installer will be added to that page soon. Ian C.
Bazaar Explorer 0.5 Release Notes ================================= General UI improvements: * To simplify the UI for new users starting with the Solo workflow, the collaborate actions (pull/merge/update/push/send) are now a submenu on the toolbar instead of separate actions. * Working tree browser hidden when not applicable, e.g. when showing Welcome page. * If a page is opened a second time, switch to the already opened one rather than create a new one. * The Bazaar menu has been tweaked with the Tags action now on the Collaborate submenu. The unimplemented Rename and Delete actions have also been removed from the Work submenu as these are more likely to be accessed in other ways (e.g. the Working Tree browser) once implemented. * The Settings menu has been re-organised given ignores are actually working-tree-specific, not branch-specific. (The difference becomes important if you have multiple checkouts switched to the same branch.) Status report improvements: * Added a "What's next?" section providing state-sensitive workflow hints. * Included the tip (last revision) number in status report summary. * Add action links to section headers, e.g. add for unversioned, log for pending merge tips, conflicts for conflicts. * Clicking on a text conflict now launches the text editor. * Add delete action link for unversioned items. Working tree browser improvements: * Double-click now opens a file using the default application instead of always opening the text editor. Repository view improvements: * More interesting locations within a repository (e.g. trunk, work) are placed first. * Rename Unique Revisions tab to Local Changes, include the one line summary of working tree status and improve the wording w.r.t. unique revisions. * Improved wording on the Missing Revisions tab. * Added Manage, Branch and Open buttons. If an item is selected, the Manage action opens it in your file manager, otherwise it opens the repository. If a branch or bound branch is selected, the Branch action uses it as the default source. Added an experimental mode previewing pending features: * A "Branch Changes" view showing the equivalent of "bzr status -rsubmit:..-1", i.e. previewing what "bzr send" would put into a bundle. Bug fixes: * Refresh on the repository view now refreshes the details panel. * Numerous others. Translations: * Added German and Turkish translations.
